OS lifecycle
projectlint is a projects-wide linter and
style checker I’ve been working on during the last weeks. As part of its set of
rules, one of them
ensures that the current version of the operating system where the code is
running is maintained and updated. But, is there a npm package with info about
the operating systems lifecycles? Nope… enter OS lifecycle.
Confirm deletion in RESTful APIs
When designing web services, it’s normal to include an option to delete an user’s account. Since this is an important action (the user and its data will dissapear from the platform), usually this is done by asking him to confirm the operation, with several endpoints one for each operation step. Navigating between different pages is so 2010-style, and there’s no direct mapping at this point between REST APIs and CRUD operations, that I’ve been thinking in a REST compatible alternative: use a token.
redux-offline in Node.js
Experimenting with
redux-offline, I’ve done a
Proof-of-Concept about how to use
redux-offline in a Node.js environment,
like a CLI command. This is useful for example when it’s needed to do an offline
aware application that needs to queue some operations until it’s connected
again.
How to have a blog on Github
Since I was a child I never liked to write. I was more a thinker, a tinker and a doer, and found really tedious to start writing ideas that I could already do, explain or show. In fact, I hated the idea of receiving a diary as a present for making my first Communion (somewhat typical here at Spain, and luckily didn’t happen to me) because I found boring to write about things that already have happened while I would be creating new ones. The same reason why I’m not too much into blogs (both writing and reading) because I pay too much attention to what I say and how I do it, and get to be really slow to get fully polished my final text (I mostly did my bachelor thesis code in 6 months… and later spended other 14 months more just for writting the project memory. It’s ironic that the times I got to write something, people got surprised that I have a somewhat good style… and more ironic that having written so much (open) source code, probably in lines number I could be able to make both Dan Brown and J.K. Rowling to fall on their knees :-P Unluckily, they have got more revenues for their jobs than me, good for them :-)
